How do states establish boundaries?

A. Delimit by building a wall.
B. Demarcate by drawing a boundary on a map.
C. Demarcate by building a wall.
D. Delimit by drawing a boundary on a map.
E. C & D

E?

Most nations and states are not separated by walls.

So it's only D?

I mean B*

Since delimit and demarcate are synonyms, B and D mean about the same. Check your text -- or better yet -- ask your teacher for clarification.

I don't know or care

Yes, the correct answer is E - C & D.

States establish boundaries by both delimiting and demarcating. Delimitation is the process of defining the boundary of a state on a map, typically through the use of legal documents or agreements. This is done by drawing a line on a map that represents the desired boundary. Demarcation, on the other hand, involves physically marking or establishing the boundary on the ground. This can be done through various means, such as building a wall, fence, or using natural landmarks like rivers or mountains.

Therefore, states establish their boundaries by both delimiting (drawing on a map) and demarcating (physically marking on the ground), as represented by option E.
